Stroke survivors commonly experience poor sleep quality, which in turn is related to stroke type, stroke location in the brain, and countries income. These are the findings of a study published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews. Poor sleep quality is common among stroke survivors, but previous prevalence studies demonstrated mixed results. Further, a meta-analysis on poor sleep quality prevalence among stroke survivors does not exist as of the date of this research paper.

Social jetlag (SJL) decreases across the lifespan, with a pronounced reduction post-retirement even after accounting for behavioral factors. These findings were recently published in the Journal of Sleep Research. SJL is the misalignment between the internal biological and external conventional clocks, which may result in deleterious health effects. However, this relationship is limited to low quality evidence, such as self-reported methods and cross-sectional studies.

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by a gland in the brain. It regulates your circadian rhythm (the body's natural 24-hour internal clock) and helps with sleep. This hormone may also have other important roles that are not fully understood. Many people take melatonin as an over-the-counter (OTC) supplement, although it is also found in natural sources. People use melatonin supplements for various reasons—the most common being sleep.

Cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) analysis of sleep stability might be a useful risk biomarker for memory function among children, according to study findings published in Sleep Medicine. While it is well known that sleep impacts neurocognitive development among children, it is unclear how decreased sleep stability is related to memory impairment. Researchers therefore used CPC to assess the relationship between sleep stability and memory among children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
